My work consists of three distinct styles, each with their own material and technique:

When using leather my works are decorative, more abstract, and sober in colour. In my paintings I deal with human figures, both in portraits and scenes of daily life.Currently however, my focus is on drawing. In these drawings, I am not trying to convey meaning, but to evoke an emotion in the viewer. My focus is on the beauty of the line. While drawing, I play the line as if it were an instrument; I paint with the line. Sometimes, I supplement the drawing with painted colours, and elements of collage to make the effect of the piece stronger
